SUBJECT:

CONCERNS EXPRESSED BY CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE DURING 01 INTERVIEW REFERENCE (a): MP&L Letter AECM-84/0100 dated February 11, 1984 (Attached)

During the interview of a Confidential Source (CS), it was disclosed that the contents of reference (a) do not, in the opinion of the CS, represent in reality that which is occurring with regard to non-license (mechanical maintenance) training at the Grand Gulf facility. The CS took strong exception to a number of statements made in reference (a) which is signed p by James P. McGaughy, Vice President Nuclear, MP&L. The CS advised that Q reference (a) appears to contain deceptive statements in that mechanical maintenance personnel have not/are not receiving the training and indoctrination indicated therein and further, that some statements contained in reference (a) are untrue and are misrepresentations of facts by the licensee. This memorandum will set forth those areas of the Februa ry 11, 1984 letter with which the CS disagrees and which, pursuant to the directions on February 23, 1984 from Mr. James P. O'Reilly, Regional Administrator, Region II, should be technically evaluated and the results documented.

The CS stated that Mechanical Maintenance personnel have not received " Fire protection and fire fighting organization training." Page two, paragraph two of reference (a) identifies this as a category of training to which the licensee is comitted in accordance with the FSAR. The CS does not know nor is the writer aware as to whether plant raintenance personnel are required to be trained in fire protection and fire fighting. The CS also takes exception to the statement in this same section of the letter (Item 6) that " specialized training for maintenance... personnel" is being conducted. The CS advised that, if the licensee is comitted to specialized maintenance training no such training of a " diverse, detailed" nature occurred in 1983 involving mechanical maintenance personnel and that

" specialized technical training and vendor schools" are not continually provided for maintenance personnel, as indicated in the letter. The CS said that the statement on page three, paragraph one regarding completion and implementation of "an extensive revision of training programs for r

maintenance" personnel is not true inasmuch as first line supervisors have

( not been infonned or instructed to participate in this activity or to make

~

mechanics available for such activity. The CS also advised that the statement regarding " sufficient numbers of personnel have completed the various training programs, and training continues to ensure adequate 8508080018 850801 PDR G

ADOCK 05000416 PDR c ,

FEB 2 4 tsu numbers..." is deceptive, in that only eight of forty mechanics are diesel trained and the last Delaval diesel school was conducted in April 1982.

The CS said diesel trained mechanics are also unequally and unfairly distributed among the eight mechanical maintenance crews.

Finally, the CS took exception to the inferences in the letter on pages three and four that " administrative controls" would ensure only qualified personnel perform diesel generator maintenance and maintenance on special components. The CS provided copies of two GG memoranda which implement these " administrative controls" af ter the licensee implied they were already in place. The CS considered these as deceptive statements which are made solely to placate the NRC. A copy of the two licensee memoranda are attached for your information.

As you or members of your staff evaluate these and other statements contained in the licensee letter, I would appreciate being kept advised since I will be conducting a concurrent investigation as requested by the Regional Administrator. I would be most happy to further detail the concerns of the CS as they have been sumarized in this memorandum. Upon completion of your effort, please document all of your activities and findings so that I might include them in my final Report of Investigation.
